No, no, no Cornbeefur - when you do your pathetic trolling thing against institutions, companies or political parties, then it's all good (if a little tedious) fun for all us Cornbeefur watchers out there.

However, when you spin your sad little trade to include this poor woman and her awful predicament, then it's one troll too far.

Go and play with the traffic or something. Or bring back the old faves like the green toothed lefties on the Orford Road or the darleks. Sad. So sad.

If the woman moved into an empty house, Osborne's, who have the maintenance contract with Ascham Homes, were probably told the property was empty, so they put it on the back burner so they could redeploy their workforce; so it's down to Ascham Homes not informing Osborne's.

Osborne's took three months to do my property. Two fire doors later, it still doesn't close, as I suspect none in Ascham properties will.

Some of Osborne's workforce don't seem to be trained in the work they are expected to do; good plasterers though, better than the English bloke who bish-boshed a ripply wall. When I complained, Ascham's sent a surveyor who asked: "How flat do you want it?"

I know how this feels, I am also disabled and been left with my cooker not connected or fitted in the kitchen since moving in 1yr and 3months ; ( , a broken shower drain that smells of sewage! In a house that is supposed to be disability adapted with stairs! And a lift that's been broken by the housing department since August 2013, the house is in such state and I have been waiting for repairs for 15 months!!! Unable to unpack as decorating is needed for damp stains that are all over the ceilings 15months later and the housing has even told my MP in writing that these repairs were completed in November last year? Which is a total lie and the only thing they have fixed in 15months of waiting is the door bell! Which was broke and replaced with a plug in bell! Housing associations are not being held accountable and being able to treat tenants in this way and to lie and get away with it to my MP too!!!

Rosemarii, count yourself lucky. Someone I know/knew, died a couple of weeks ago, falling in the bath and hitting his head, when the handrail came away from the wall. No one's safe with them. Not fit for purpose.
